Editorial.Link review
FeaturedAgency · St. Petersburg, Florida, United States · Since 2020
Editorial.Link sells one thing. There is no SEO retainer to graduate into, no content programme attached, and no paid media arm, which already separates it from most of the companies a search for a link building agency will surface.
What makes it the featured pick here is not the work, which nobody outside its client list can verify. It is the number of things it has committed to in public.
A price per link. A floor of DR 60 rather than an average. Approval of the target list before anyone is contacted. A replacement guarantee that keeps running for three months after you stop paying. Each of those is checkable on its own site, and each is a promise a buyer can hold them to.
That matters because of what the rest of this directory looks like. Of 33 specialists checked, 18 publish a price at all, 11 let you see the sites, and exactly two commit to showing you the list before outreach begins rather than after placement.
Our scorecard
An editorial read across six dimensions, scored against the other 32 specialists in this directory rather than against the market at large. It is not an aggregate of user reviews and it is deliberately kept out of this page's structured data.
- Published commitments5/5
Price, authority floor, approval step and guarantee are all public and specific.
- Price transparency5/5
A full ladder with no minimum order behind it.
- Buyer control5/5
Approval of the target list before outreach, which almost nothing else here offers.
- Guarantee5/5
Six months, extended three months past the end of the engagement.
- Strategic input2/5
Deliberately none. You bring the target pages.
- Value at volume3/5
$300 a link at twenty is fair, but productised suppliers here start far lower.

Who Editorial.Link is for
Buyers who want to start small and judge the output before committing. The absence of a contract or a monthly minimum means a single link is a legitimate first order, and the DR 60 floor means that link is comparable to the next one.
It suits a company that already knows which pages need authority. There is no strategy layer here, and there is no pretence of one.
Strengths and limits
What it does well
- A hard DR 60 floor on every placement, not an average that lets low-authority links hide inside a batch
- You see and approve the target sites before outreach starts, which only one other entry in this directory offers
- The replacement guarantee runs three months past the end of the engagement, so links are covered after you stop paying
- Per-link pricing with no contract, so a single link is a valid order and a trial is cheap
- Sells nothing but link acquisition, so there is no retainer to be upsold into
Where it falls short
- No strategy layer. If you do not already know which pages need links, this is the wrong shape of supplier
- A DR 60 floor is a floor on authority, not on relevance, and the two are not the same thing
- Its own about page dates the agency to 2020 while its Clutch profile says 2016 and lists a different country, so the corporate history is not consistent across sources
- Per-link pricing gets expensive at volume compared with the productised suppliers in this directory, some of which start under $100
Editorial.Link pricing
A single backlink is $375. Packages bring that down to $350 each at five links and $300 each at twenty, with premium placements at $550 and a bespoke tier quoted individually.
The important detail is what is not there. No retainer, no contract, no monthly minimum and no volume commitment, which means the published price is the price a real buyer pays at entry rather than a rate that only unlocks at scale. That is unusual: across this directory the headline figure is far more often a floor that needs a minimum order behind it.

What it says about paying publishers
Says it does not pay for placements
“We earn backlinks by building relationships, not by buying them.”
On target sites: you approve the sites first.
This records what Editorial.Link publishes about itself, read in September 2026. It is not an assessment of what the company does, and a published denial is not proof of one either.
Limits and exclusions
- DR 60 is a floor on authority only. Relevance is assessed separately and is not expressed as a number
- No published turnaround time for a single link order
- The guarantee covers removal, not a change in the host site's own authority after placement
Third-party reviews
Scores read from each source on 2026-09-16. We report them as-is and publish no rating of our own.
A Clutch profile rates the agency as a whole rather than a specific placement, and this one carries a founding year and country that do not match the agency's own about page. Reported as read, with no rating of our own.
Verdict
Buy here if you already know which pages need authority and you want to be able to hold your supplier to something. The DR 60 floor, the approval step and the nine-month effective guarantee are the three most binding commitments in this directory, and the absence of a contract means testing that is cheap.
Buy elsewhere if you need volume or judgement. At $300 to $375 a link this is roughly three times what the productised suppliers here charge, and those suppliers are not selling worse links so much as different ones, on lower authority bands. And if what you actually need is somebody to decide which pages to point links at, this is not that service and does not claim to be.
Editorial.Link FAQ
Can I buy a single link from Editorial.Link?
Yes. There is no contract and no monthly minimum, and a single backlink is $375. That makes a trial genuinely cheap, which is not true of most of the retainer-based agencies in this directory.Does Editorial.Link show you the sites before placement?
Yes, and it is one of only two specialists in this directory that commits to doing so before outreach rather than after placement. The site states that you see the prospects first and have the final say before anything proceeds.What does the DR 60 floor actually guarantee?
That every placement sits on a domain rated 60 or above by Ahrefs. It guarantees nothing about topical relevance, which is assessed separately and is not expressed as a number, so a DR 60 placement on a loosely related site still meets the published floor.How long is the Editorial.Link guarantee?
Six months on every placement, plus a three-month replacement window that runs after the engagement ends. The second half is the unusual part: most guarantees in this market stop when you stop paying.Is Editorial.Link good value compared with cheaper suppliers?
It depends what you are comparing. Several productised suppliers here start under $100 a link, but those prices buy lower authority bands, and one of them bands its cheapest tier by referring domains rather than by DR. At DR 60 with approval rights and a nine-month effective guarantee, $300 to $375 is a different purchase rather than the same one at a higher price.Does Editorial.Link pay publishers for placements?
It states that it earns backlinks by building relationships rather than buying them, which is a clearer answer than most of this market gives. Of 33 specialists checked, 20 say nothing about the question at all.
Others worth a look
This is an independent review. Editorial.Link is not a client or a partner, we have no affiliate relationship with them, we earn nothing if you hire them, and nobody pays for placement in the directory. Prices were read from the company's own pages in September 2026 and change without notice.
